Lights out at 8:00

So I wasn't in the mood to make pictures tonight.

I also didn't want to skip another day.

So I grabbed my camera, put it on auto, with a flash even, and took this image of my ever-grounded daughter.

That's what happens when you argue and argue and argue with your mom!

It was inevitable. I forgot to take a picture yesterday. I hope that I made up for it today, though.

This morning was the first Digital Photography Meetup ever. We all met at the Rio Grand Nature Center and took bunches of pictures. I learned a lot about my camera (thanks Paul!) and am looking forward to many meetups to come.

The escargot almost killed us

Casey and I had dinner at a little French restaurant tonight ... I took this picture before the escargot turned on us.

The Invention Convention project was completed ON TIME!

Yes, I know the flash ruined this picture. But at least I took one.

Casey's project for the Invention Convention was a Heartbeat Petbed. She has to put together a story board, just like a science project, so of course she enlisted mom for the photography.

Days like this discourage me. This pic is not much better, I don't think, than it would have been without classes and expensive equipment.

But whaddyagonnado.

Practice more I guess!

Moon over Mountains

I noticed an amazing moon when I picked Casey up tonight. My little p&s certainly doesn't do it justice, nor does the telephone wires going right through it ... lesson in paying attention to the background more :)

Extreme Makeover

Today we were spectators for the Extreme Makeover Home Edition project in SE Albuquerque.

We met up with Alexa, Julie, boyfriend & fam and hopped on the shuttle to check out the action. What you see here was pretty much it. No Design Team, no Ty Pennington, no tv camera even. It was just a bunch of builders walking around and doing their thing. But at least I got a little camera practice in.

Tuesday is the big reveal so we may head back down and try to get an autograph from the celebs (and more pics!)
